Over 40 ALPB Players Signed by MLB/Int'l Teams in 2015
2015年大西洋联盟(ALPB)超过40位球员被MLB或外国球团签约.
The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (ALPB), the nation’s most
progressive independent league, has had the contracts of 42 of its players
purchased by MLB or international organizations this year through the halfway
point in the season. In comparison, last year 55 ALPB players were signed
during the entire season.
美国发展最先进的独立联盟ALPB今年半季有42位球员被MLB或国际球团买断合约.
对照去年整季则有55位球员.
Although ALPB clubs are unaffiliated, the League and MLB work through a
unique agreement governing the transfer of players to Major League teams.
This spring, the Atlantic League became the first independent league to enter
into a relationship with Major League Baseball, formalizing the process under
which its players’ contracts could be sold to MLB organizations.
虽然ALPB是独立性质,但与MLB透过独特的协议管理球员转换至大联盟球队.
今年春季ALPB成为第一个与大联盟有隶属关系的独联,
将底下球员合约形式化,再透过程序能将合约卖给大联盟体系.
“The Atlantic League showcases an exceptionally high-quality on-field product,
”said Rick White, President of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.
“We are the stepping stone for many talented young players and veterans to
advance to the highest level of competition in the Major Leagues.”
大西洋联盟主席Rick White表示:"ALTB展现了极高品质的产品.我们是许多新秀和老将更进
一步前往最高层级大联盟竞争的踏脚基石."
Among the recent former Atlantic League players currently in the Majors are
Houston Astros pitcher Scott Kazmir, 31, who started 14 games in 2012 with
the Sugar Land Skeeters before signing with the Cleveland Indians for the
2013 season. During his time with the Skeeters, he rediscovered the pitching
mechanics that made him an elite pitcher. On July 24, former York Revolution
pitcher Ian Thomas earned a win in his first major league start with the Los
Angeles Dodgers against the New York Mets. Thus far this year, the York
Revolution have seen nine of their players sign with Major League
organizations.
31岁的Scott Kazmir在与印地安人签约先前在Skeeters先发了14场比赛,
在这期间他重新找回了投球机制让他成为了优秀的投手;
7/24前York Revolution的Ian Thomas也摘下大联盟先发首胜.
而今年York Revolution已经看到9位球员与大联盟体系签约.
“If a player gets cut or fails to make a big league roster, their dream does
not have to end,” said ALPB Executive Director of Baseball Operations Joe
Klein, who spent decades in MLB front offices. “Years ago that may have been
the case, but the talent pool these days is immense and it takes some players
longer than others to reach their full potential. The Atlantic League affords
these players the opportunity to hone their skills at a high level of
competition.”
ALPB待过大联盟总部十年的执行长Joe Klein表示:"如果球员被刷下或是失败没办法成为大
联盟名单的球员,梦想还没结束;几年前可能一直是这样,但现今人才库巨大,一些球员需要
比别人更长的时间充分发挥潜力.ALPB提供这些球员机会,在高度竞争中磨练自己的技能."
